PREFACE 


The  Secretary  not  having  been  formally  elected  until  the 
Reunion  Meeting,  in  June,  1910,  did  not  feel  that  he  was 
authorized  to  send  out  statistical  blanks  prior  to  his  election. 
This,  coupled  with  the  somewhat  obstinate  silence  of  a  por- 
tion of  the  Class,  has  delayed  the  publication  of  this  book 
greatly. 

Acknowledgments  are  due  Staige  Davis  for  his  kindness  in 
lending  photographs  of  reunion  scenes;  to  C.  S.  Stephenson 
for  assisting  the  Secretary  to  obtain  pictures  of  deceased 
members  of  the  Class,  and  finally  to  Roe  for  his  interesting 
article  on  Sheff .  The  Secretary  also  wishes  to  make  acknowl- 
edgment of  his  indebtedness  to  Mr.  Edwin  Rogers  Embree, 
director  of  the  Class  Secretaries  Bureau,  for  most  valuable 
advice  and  assistance  in  compiling  and  printing  this  Record. 

This  book  is  largely  modeled  on  the  Decennial  Report  of 
Hollister  Robinson,  and  to  him  the  Secretary  extends  his 
thanks  for  supplying  so  excellent  an  example  of  what  a  Class 
book  should  be. 

In  committing  this  Quindecennial  Report  to  your  critical 
eyes  the  Secretary  hopes  that,  whether  it  give  pleasure  or 
not,  he  may  be  justified  in  believing  that  it  has  at  least  done 
something  to  keep  alive  the  interest  of  the  men  in  each  other, 
in  Sheff  and  in  the  University.

Class  Secretary.

resided  with  his  uncle,  Gen.  M.  D.  Leggett,  in  Cleveland,  Ohio,

business,  with  which  he  was  very  familiar,  as  his  relatives  on

Erie  for  many  years.  In  1896  he  went  to  New  York  and

Bernard  Mizel.  He  began  business  practically  without  capi-

writes :  "Brownell  had  not  been  feeling  well  for  a  long  time, 
but  was  able  to  be  about  and  his  condition  was  not  regarded 
as  serious.  News  of  his  death  came  very  suddenly,  so  sud- 
denly in  fact,  that  his  friends  were  not  able  to  reach  his 
bedside  in  time.  He  was  very  successful  in  business  and  at

his  immediate  relatives.  Since  leaving  college,  Brownell  was 
so  busily  engaged  in  work  that  he  did  not  keep  up  the 
acquaintance  with  his  old  friends,  but  in  college  was  well 
known  and  well  liked  and  had  a  host  of  the  warmest  friends, 
as  doubtless  you  remember.  His  duties  confined  him  very 
closely  at  the  start,  and  undoubtedly  undermined  his  health 
and  were  responsible  for  the  crash  that  came  later.  He  was 
known  to  all  his  friends  as  generous  and  considerate  to  the 
highest  degree,  and  his  death  is  a  very  severe  loss  to  us  all."

on  the  outskirts  of  St.  Louis — where  the  greatest  Exposition 
in  the  history  of  the  nations  was  held — and  think  of  it,  the 
only  two  in  the  Class  of  '95  S.  that  were  there  were  Louis — 
'Baldy'— Hart  and  'T.  Willie'— 'Tight  Wad'— 'King  of 
Patagonia' — Griggs  of  St.  Paul,  a  suburb  of  Minneapolis, 
Minn.  Oh,  yes,  R.  T.  Crane,  Jr.,  was  there,  but  he  didn't 
cut  much  'ice'  and  John  Arthur  Farwell.  Well,  to  continue, 
the  next  four  years  were  spent  in  Exeter,  N.  H.,  with  Reubix 
Thayer,  Big  and  Little  Steph,  etc.  'The  Good  Old  Summer 
Times'  were  spent  since  1885  in  the  waters  of  Lake  Minne- 
tonka,  Minn.  And  I  am  glad  to  be  here  to  tell  my  little  story 
since  leaving  dear  old  Yale  in  June,  1895,  for  I  hadn't  been 
home  but  a  few  days,  it  was  on  the  Fourth  of  July,  when  I 
was  monkeying  with  my  big  brother  Nat's  (^#-'95  S.)  revol- 
ver and  it  went  off  unexpectedly.  Well,  anyhow,  I  am  here, 
have  been  married  five  years,  have  been  slaving  for  ten  and 
haven't  made  a  million  yet.  First  Spasm — I  started  my 
career  as  a  full-fledged  business  man  to  buck  this  'hard  world' 
on  November  14,  1895,  in  the  National  Bank  of  Commerce. 
I  hadn't  been  there  long  when  a  clerk,  like  myself,  called  me 
'giblets.'  Were  you  ever  called  giblets?  I  didn't  feel  much 
flattered ;  on  the  contrary,  I  felt  a  burning  sensation  around 
my  collar  and  the  gentleman  was  spoken  to  very  gently — he 
never  addressed  me  with  that  endearing  term  again.  Second 
Spasm — Left  the  banking  business  in  November,  1898,  with 
some  good  experience,  although  didn't  take  a  fortune  with 
me,  and  in  December  started  into  the  wholesale  dry  goods 
business  with  Ferguson-McKinney  Dry  Goods  Company,  a 
new  firm  who  opened  their  doors  to  the  farmers  on  January 
1,  1900.  More  valuable  experience,  but  no  fortune  yet. 
Third  Spasm — On  April  1,  1903,  entered  the  electrical  field 
with  the  Ewing-Merkle  Electric  Company  and  am  still  run- 
ning. No  fortune  as  yet,  but  prospects  are  good." — (From

60  BIOGRAPHIES 

"Immediately  after  graduation,  in  company  with  Crane 
and  Greenway,  Hamlin  made  a  tour  of  Ireland  and  other 
parts  of  Europe.  Taking  up  his  residence  in  Munich,  Ger- 
many, in  November,  1895,  he  settled  down  to  learn  the  Ger- 
man language,  which  he  acquired  in  a  few  months.  He  then 
proceeded  to  Paris,  and  while  there,  in  company  with  his  par- 
ents and  sister,  fell  in  with  the  little  American  colony  of  Yale 
men  and  others  who  were  pursuing  the  study  of  architecture, 
and  residing  in  the  Quartier  Latin.  He  became  enthusiastic- 
ally interested  in  the  work  and  soon  decided  to  become  an 
architect.  After  about  six  months'  study  of  French  and 
architecture,  he  so  mastered  the  rudiments  of  that  science 
as  to  attempt  the  semi-annual  examinations,  largely  oral, 
for  the  Ecole  des  Beaux  Arts.  He  was  advised  to  take  this 
step  for  the  sake  of  the  experience,  but  was  warned  that  it  was 
impossible  for  him  to  pass  after  so  short  a  course  of  study. 
Much  to  the  surprise  of  all,  even  of  his  friends,  he  was  one  of 
the  fifty  successful  aspirants  out  of  a  class  of  four  hundred 
and  fifty,  many  of  whom  had  been  studying  for  years  and 
had  essayed  examinations  a  number  of  times.  More  than  this, 
he  carried  off  the  third  highest  mark  in  the  important  subject 
of  free-hand  drawing,  and  immediately  took  his  place  as  a 
student  of  the  highest  promise.  This  good  work  he  kept  up 
after  his  entry  into  the  school,  receiving  a  number  of  medals 
and  other  honors  during  his  four  years  in  Paris. 

"He  returned  home  a  number  of  times  during  the  summer 
vacations  of  the  school,  spending  these  periods  invariably 
with  his  parents.  During  the  last  spring  of  his  life  and  when 
his  work  was  nearly  completed,  he  made  a  trip,  in  company 
with  his  roommate,  George  Chappell,  '99,  to  some  of  the  prin- 
cipal cities  of  Italy  for  the  purpose  of  studying  the  archi- 
tectural monuments  of  that  country.  It  was  somewhere 
about  this  time  that  he  began  to  develop  the  very  virulent 
lung  trouble,  which  afterward  resulted  in  his  death.  He  came

to  this  country  in  September,  1901,  and  after  several  weeks 
at  the  Presbyterian  Hospital  in  New  York,  during  which 
he  appeared  to  gain  somewhat  in  strength,  he  was  taken  to 
Phoenix,  Ariz.  But  in  spite  of  the  most  favorable  conditions, 
he  began  to  fail  about  a  month  after  his  arrival  at  that  place, 
and  passed  quietly  and  painlessly  away  on  December  10, 
1901,  without  apparently  having  realized  at  any  time  the 
approaching  fatal  termination  of  his  malady." — (From  the

had  a  good  stand  in  his  studies  and  had  taken  most  of  his 
course,  the  class  sent  in  a  petition  to  the  faculty  to  give 
"Steve,"  as  he  was  familiarly  called,  his  degree  without  any 
examination.  The  faculty,  however,  refused  on  the  ground 
that  they  could  not  establish  such  a  precedent. 

"In  the  fall  of  1895,  his  health  being  much  better,  he 
returned  to  New  Haven,  passed  his  examinations,  and 
received  his  diploma  as  a  member  of  '95  S.,  a  circumstance 
very  gratifying  to  himself  and  also  to  the  whole  class,  by 
whom  he  was  much  beloved.  After  taking  his  degree,  he 
entered  the  Columbia  Law  School,  but  remained  only  a  short 
time,  as  his  health  began  to  fail.  In  the  early  part  of 
1896  he  went  to  Lake  wood,  and  from  there  to  his  father's 
country  home  at  Cranston,  N.  Y.,  where  he  died,  of  consump- 
tion, on  April  26,  1896,  greatly  mourned  by  his  Class  and 
friends,  with  whom  he  was  ever  a  most  congenial  and  loving 
companion." — (Alumni  Weekly.)

OF  GRADUATES  113 

After  graduation,  Rustin  studied  medicine  in  New  York 
University,  and  on  receiving  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Medi- 
cine from  there  in  1897,  was  for  six  months  resident  surgeon 
in  the  New  York  Lying-in  Hospital,  and  for  two  years  in 
the  same  position  at  the  Presbyterian  Hospital,  New  York. 
He  then  settled  in  practice  in  his  native  city,  and  became 
well  known  as  a  surgeon.  In  the  spring  of  1906  he  was 
appointed  surgeon-in-chief  of  Mercy  Hospital,  and  also  held 
the  same  positions  in  St.  Joseph's  Hospital,  and  the  Clark- 
son  Memorial  Hospital. 

Dr.  Rustin  was  found  at  the  door  of  his  residence  in 
Omaha,  in  the  early  morning  of  September  2,  1908,  dying 
from  a  pistol  shot  wound.  The  trial  of  the  man  charged 
with  his  murder  resulted  in  the  acquittal  of  the  accused,  and 
the  mystery  of  the  agent  of  his  death  has  remained  unsolved. 
He  was  thirty-seven  years  of  age.

"Have  traveled  quite  extensively  in  this  country  and 
abroad,  but  have  never  met  with  any  untoward  occurrences 
worthy  of  mention. 

"About  a  year  ago  I  retired  from  active  business,  but  still 
hold  the  position  of  vice-president  in  the  only  business  that 
I  have  ever  been  actively  connected  with.  Have  many  inter- 
ests to  look  after  and  lots  of  hobbies  to  ride,  with  the  result 
that  I  am  still  very  busy  and  always  hope  to  keep  so."

Stoller  is  in  the  insurance  business,  as  solicitor  with  T.  H. 
Mastin  &  Company.  He  writes : 

"I  learned,  on  returning  from  my  first  year  at  Yale,  that 
father  had  lost  his  ranch  in  New  Mexico  on  account  of  an 
extended  drought  and  after  turning  over  all  his  property 
was  still  $33,000  in  debt.  I  was  familiar  with  the  commission 
business,  so  I  decided  to  abandon  my  college  career  and  joined 
with  him  in  the  business,  assuming  the  $33,000  indebtedness. 
Naturally  our  credit  was  good  and  we  were  able  to  build  up 
a  splendid  business,  in  spite  of  the  failure.  We  paid  interest 
on  the  indebtedness  and  reduced  the  principal  slowly. 

"At  the  time  of  father's  death  we  had  the  business  well 
established  and  it  continued  to  grow,  ranking  sixteenth  in 
volume  of  business  with  about  eighty  firms  in  competition. 
In  the  panic  of  1907,  the  bank  we  were  doing  business  with 
closed  its  doors,  and,  as  we  still  owed  the  bank  some  money, 
there  was  no  way  to  continue,  so  I  sold  the  business  for  what 
was  against  it  and  got  out  without  owing  any  money. 

"The  business  experience  I  got  at  the  stockyards  was  of 
value  to  me  later,  when  I  went  into  the  insurance  business. 
Since  January  1,  1911,  I  have  written  nearly  one  and  one 
half  million  dollars'  worth  of  insurance,  which  they  tell  me 
is  very  good,  and  I  have  already  had  several  flattering  offers 
from  other  companies.  In  this  line  of  business,  if  I  am  suc- 
cessful, I  should  eventually  drift  back  East  and  hope  to  see 
dear  old  Yale  again  before  many  years."

CLASS  REUNIONS  AND  FUNDS 


REUNIONS 

THIRTEENTH  ANNIVERSARY 

The  class  scribe  is  unfamiliar  with  the  proper  Latin  equiv- 
alent of  the  Thirteenth  reunion  so  he  is  forced  to  fall  back 
on  the  good  old  English  "Thirteenth." 

The  idea  of  having  a  thirteenth  reunion  was  first  con- 
ceived at  the  annual  class  dinner  at  the  Yale  Club  in  April, 
1908.  President  Taft,  then  plain  Mr.  Secretary  Taft,  had 
announced  that  he  would  be  present  at  New  Haven  with  his 
class  (1878)  at  the  celebration  of  its  thirtieth  year  of  gradu- 
ation. 

The  suggestion  having  been  made  at  the  '95  S.  dinner 
above  referred  to  that  this  would  afford  a  good  chance  to 
join  with  the  returning  classes  in  doing  honor  to  Yale's  first 
presidential  nominee,  and  incidentally  to  get  together  for  an 
off-year  reunion,  the  men  at  the  dinner  welcomed  the  idea 
with  considerable  enthusiasm,  and  a  committee  was  organized 
to  start  the  formal  preliminaries  and  the  following  notice 
was  sent  out: 

'95  S.  SPECIAL  NOTICE 
ATTENTION 

Once  more  we  take  the  initiative! 
Thirteenth  reunion  of  the  Class  to  be  held  in  New  Haven, 

June  22,  28, 1908. 
Dear  Classmate: 

At  the  class  dinner  recently  held  in  New  York,  the  sentiment 
of  all  present  was  strongly  in  favor  of  holding  an  off-year 
reunion  this  June  in  New  Haven.  The  spirit  of  the  men  is  shown 
by  the  fact  that  a  fund  was  started  and  sufficient  money  has 
already  been  pledged  to  enable  the  committee  to  go  ahead  and 
make  preliminary  arrangements. 

The  plan  is  to  meet  here  in  New  Haven  on  Monday,  June  22, 


182  CLASS  REUNIONS 

and  start  the  ball  rolling  with  a  shore  dinner  at  the  Rock  that 
evening.  Tuesday  morning  there  will  be  a  meeting  of  the  Class  to 
discuss  any  matters  that  may  come  up.  In  the  afternoon  we  will 
go  to  the  ball  game  in  a  body,  and  in  the  evening  attend  the  1492 
dinner. 

The  tax  will  be  five  ($5.00)  dollars,  which  will  cover  the  shore 
dinner,  ball  game  and  1 492  dinner.  Any  other  expenses,  as  usual, 
are  extra. 

The  committee  has  secured  an  option  on  rooms  at  the  Hotel 
Davenport,  which  option  expires  on  May  29.  Those  men  who 
wish  a  room  at  the  hotel,  will  confer  a  great  favor  on  the  com- 
mittee, therefore,  by  replying  before  the  option  expires  on  May 
29. 

It  is  absolutely  essential,  on  account  of  the  limited  time,  that 
all  men  expecting  to  return,  should  notify  the  committee  at  the 
earliest  possible  date,  and  enclose  check,  made  payable  to  H.  H. 
Robinson,  for  $5.00. 

It  is  recognized  that  this  reunion  is  in  the  nature  of  an  innova- 
tion. But  '95  S.  has  started  innovations  before  and  carried  them 
through  successfully,  and  we  feel  that  the  Class  will  respond  to 
this  call  in  a  way  that  will  make  this,  the  first  thirteenth  reunion 
of  any  class,  a  great  success. 

Some  thirty  odd  men  at  the  New  York  dinner  signified  their 
intention  of  attending,  and  the  men  here  in  New  Haven  are 
equally  enthusiastic,  so  that  the  prospects  of  getting  a  good  bunch 
together  are  exceedingly  bright. 

Talk  this  matter  up  with  the  men  in  your  locality  and  COME ! 

To  '95  S.,  the  real  thing, 

The  really  greatest  class  alive, 
Whatever  we  do,  we'll  all  of  us  be  true 

To  Sheff  Ninety-five,  to  Sheff  Ninety-five. 

Yours  in  '95  S.,

quarters  the  "Davenport"  Hotel,  and  here  on  Monday,  June 
22,  the  Class  duly  assembled. 

The  following  men  were  present:

No  formal  costumes  had  been  selected  in  advance,  but  know- 
ing by  dearly  bought  experience  that  duck  clothing  was  a 
necessity,  the  men,  on  arrival,  went  immediately  to  a  nearby 
clothing  store  and  bought  an  outfit  which  is  shown  in  the 
Class  picture;  the  uniform  consisted  of  a  light  brown  linen 
jacket  and  duck  trousers,  with  a  white  sailor  hat.  Some 
enterprising  person,  conceiving  the  idea  that  some  figures 
ought  to  appear  on  the  uniform,  had  his  hat  and  pockets 
stencilled  with  the  figures  "13."  In  a  short  time  the  idea 
was  copied  by  everyone,  to  the  great  bewilderment  of  all 
returning  classes,  as  well  as  of  the  regular  inhabitants  of 
New  Haven,  who  constantly  stopped  the  men  and  asked :  "In 
heaven's  name,  what  class  do  you  belong  to  ?" 

At  about  six  o'clock  on  the  afternoon  of  June  22,  the  Class, 


184  CLASS  REUNIONS 

having  been  equipped,  took  a  special  car  to  Moegling's,  Savin

customary  stunts  at  the  Rock,  the  Class  returned  and  most 
of  them  spent  the  shank  of  the  evening  at  the  Graduates  Club 
listening  to  songs  by  Runyon  and  others  of  lesser  note. 

Tuesday,  June  23.  As  this  was  an  informal  reunion  no 
regular  Class  meeting  was  held;  the  men  gathered  together 
at  12  o'clock  in  front  of  Byers  Hall  and  a  photograph  was 
taken,  which  is  reproduced  in  this  book. 

The  arrangements  of  the  committee  called  for  a  trip  to 
Yale  field  in  the  afternoon  by  trolley,  but  "Curly"  Robinson 
with  wrath  and  indignation  loudly  proclaimed  that  he  would 
not  feel  the  trip  from  Pittsburgh  worth  while  unless  a  formal 
march  was  made  to  the  field  with  the  customary  accompani- 
ment of  a  band.  As  "Curly"  only  voiced  the  sentiments  of 
the  men  as  a  whole,  a  hasty  arrangement  was  made  with 
Holt's  band  of  twenty  pieces,  which  discoursed  sweet  music 
throughout  the  afternoon.  At  1.30  o'clock  the  men  marched 
to  the  field  and  saw  Yale  beaten  by  Harvard. 

Upon  returning  from  the  game  the  men  gathered  for  a 
time  at  Heublein's  and  then  went  in  a  body  to  the  "1492"

dinner.  This  was  the  first  time  that  many  of  the  men  had 
ever  attended  this  meeting.  They  all  voted  it  a  great  success. 
This  dinner  closed  the  festivities. 

One  feature  which  did  not  come  off  as  per  schedule  proved 
a  disappointment,  but  inasmuch  as  Beers,  the  father  of  the 
idea,  is  intending  to  carry  it  out  in  even  more  complete  form 
hereafter  and  in  order  that  the  Class  may  anticipate  what 
will  be  handed  out  at  the  twentieth  reunion,  the  following  is 
taken  from  a  New  Haven  paper  of  June  23 : 

'95  S.  HAS  AIRSHIP 
Unique  Stunt  arranged  by  Class  Here  On  an  Off-Year  Reunion 

Perhaps  the  most  unique  feature  of  the  reunion  classes  back 
at  this  commencement  is  the  programme  arranged  by  the  Class  of 
1895  S.,  which  is  also  unique  in  that  it  is  celebrating  here  this 
week  a  reunion  which  no  other  class  has  ever  celebrated,  the 
thirteenth.  Without  any  previous  announcement  and  in  a  mys- 
terious manner  arrangements  were  made  for  a  reunion  and  as  a 
result  of  the  plans  made  the  Class  is  here  fifty-two  strong.  Many 
of  the  members  came  from  New  York  City  and  brought  with 
them  a  brass  band. 

The  first  formal  meeting  of  the  Class  was  held  last  night  at 
Moegling's  at  Savin  Rock.  There  was  held  the  "13"  dinner,  and 
fifty  were  on  hand.  But  out  of  this  supper  grew  the  most  unique 
feature  of  the  entire  Class  affair. 

This  is  it.  The  fact  that  there  is  an  airship  at  Savin  Rock 
became  known  to  members  of  the  Class,  and  they  decided  that 
this  must  be  included  in  their  plans  for  a  unique  feature  which 
would  carry  out  the  boast  of  "  '95  S"  that  it  is  the  Class  which 
does  things.  So  a  contract  was  entered  into  last  night  by  the 
Class  and  the  Business  Men's  Association  of  Savin  Rock  for  a 
certain  airship  feature  in  connection  with  the  Yale-Harvard 
baseball  game  this  afternoon.  The  Class  will,  of  course,  attend 
the  game  in  a  body,  marching  out  fifty-two  strong  and  in  uniform. 
William  H.  Taft  is  also  to  be  present,  and  the  two  parts  are 
united  by  the  airship. 

The  contract  entered  into  last  night  required  that  during  the 
progress  of  the  game  at  the  field  to-day  Professor  Hamilton  is 
to  sail  in  his  airship  over  the  field.  The  ship  will  have  banners 


186  CLASS  REUNIONS 

hanging  down  from  the  sides  inscribed  with  the  legend  of  '95 
Sheff.  Cards  are  to  be  dropped  down  by  the  professor  also 
bearing  the  same  legend.  In  addition,  however,  and  here  is  where 
the  real  mystery  comes  in,  Professor  Hamilton  is  to  drop 
from  his  airship  a  message  to  the  Honorable  William  Howard 
Taft,  candidate  for  president  of  the  United  States.  What  the 
message  will  contain  is  unknown,  but  the  fact  remains  that  it  will 
come,  and  by  airship,  too,  while  the  thousands  of  spectators  are 
watching  the  annual  Commencement  struggle  between  Yale  and 
Harvard.  The  carrying  out  of  the  idea,  which  is  fully  arranged 
and  contracted  for,  will  be  a  unique  event  at  the  big  game. 

The  Class  of  '95  Sheff  claims  to  be  the  first  Class  which  ever 
went  to  Yale  field  to  the  annual  commencement  game  in  uniform. 
This  innovation  was  introduced  by  the  Class  at  its  triennial  in 
1898.  The  Class  is  this  year  arrayed  in  costume  also,  and  is 
distinguished  by  unique  arrangements.  Those  who  wish  to  spot 
them  on  the  street  should  look  for  a  little  telltale  about  their 
costume,  which  gives  away  the  members  of  the  unique  Class. 

Unfortunately  the  wind  was  too  strong  to  permit  the 
carrying  out  of  the  plan. 

The  following  is  taken  from  the  Yale  Alumni  Weekly,  Com- 
mencement number: 

The  Class  of  '95  S.  has  the  distinction  of  being  the  first  class 
to  have  a  reunion  during  Commencement  before  the  arrival  of  the 
regular  five  year  period,  some  forty-five  members  of  the  Class 
assembling  with  all  the  attendant  features  of  a  regular  reunion 
for  a  thoroughly  enjoyable  occasion.  Monday  evening,  the 
Class  sat  down  to  an  excellent  shore  dinner  at  Moegling's,  Savin 
Rock.  Tuesday  evening  the  men  joined  in  the  dinner  of  the 
Class  of  1492.  A  long  distance  cup  was  awarded  to  Bookwalter, 
who  came  from  Springfield,  111. 


QUINDECENNIAL  REUNION 

The  Quindecennial  Reunion  Committee,  under  the  able 
leadership  of  Bayard  Barnes,  having  bombarded  the  Class 
with  numerous  circulars,  was  able  to  round  up  eighty-five 
members  of  '95  S,  all  of  whom  voted  the  reunion  as  one  of 
the  very  best.

The  committee  had  secured  the  Nesbit  building  at  71 
Whitney  Avenue,  a  student  dormitory,  and  with  most  com- 
mendable forethought  had  provided  a  piano  as  well  as  a 
skilled  operator  thereof. 

A  number  of  the  men  reached  town  on  Saturday  and 
attended  the  Dramatic  Association  performance  of  "The 
Taming  of  the  Shrew."  Those  who  came  early  found  the 
New  Haven  Country  Club  the  principal  attraction  and  a 
number  of  our  men  were  seen  there  on  Saturday  afternoon 
and  Sunday  chasing  the  elusive  golf  ball. 

The  majority  of  the  men  registered  on  Monday.  Each 
man  upon  arrival  was  provided  with  the  reunion  costume. 
This  consisted  of  white  duck  trousers,  blue  coat  with  white 
trimmings,  a  Puritan  hat  with  white  band  and  brim  and  blue 
crown  with  '95  S.  appearing  conspicuously  thereon. 

In  the  afternoon  a  ball  game  was  played  with  a  picked 
team  from  '07  S.  in  which  one  of  the  nines  probably  won,  but 
the  scribe  does  not  know  which  team  was  successful.  At  6 
P.M.  on  Monday  the  Class  in  uniform,  accompanied  by  the 
band,  took  a  chartered  car  and  proceeded  to  Moegling's  at 
Savin  Rock.  The  menu  of  the  dinner  was  as  follows : 

Little  Neck  Clams,  Half  Shell 
Olives  Radishes  Pickles 

Steamed  Soft  Shell  Clams 

Broiled  Bluefish  Pommes  Parisienne 

Half  Cold  Boiled  Lobster,  French  Dressing 

Half  Broiled  Spring  Chicken 

French  Fried  Potatoes  Mixed  Salad 

Roquefort  Cheese  Toasted  Crackers 

Coffee 

After  dinner  the  Class  did  the  rounds  and  most  of  the  men 
returned  early  to  New  Haven  spending  the  evening  at  the 
Graduates  Club. 

Tuesday  morning  the  business  meeting  of  the  Class  was 


188  CLASS  REUNIONS 

held  in  North  Sheffield  Hall,  being  called  to  order  by  John 
Greenway,  who  opened  the  proceedings  by  offering  to  resign 
as  president,  saying  that  he  thought  some  other  man  should 
be  given  the  honor.  No  one  was  found  who  would  second  the 
motion  and  as  there  were  no  other  candidates  his  offer  was 
unanimously  declined. 

Votes  of  thanks  were  tendered  H.  Hollister  Robinson,  who 
had  previously  resigned  as  secretary,  for  his  efficient  and 
untiring  services  to  the  Class,  and  to  C.  L.  F.  Robinson  for 
his  generous  payment  of  all  expenses  of  Colt's  band.  Thanks 
were  also  extended  to  Walbridge,  J.  W.  Hall  and  C.  S. 
Stephenson  for  their  efforts  in  connection  with  the  New  York 
dinners. 

At  this  meeting  the  new  secretary  of  the  Class  stated  that 
there  was  no  Class  fund  available  for  current  expenses  and 
that  to  the  best  of  his  knowledge  and  belief  the  retiring  sec- 
retary had  been  obliged  to  go  down  into  his  own  pocket  for 
the  wherewithal  to  pay  certain  Class  expenses.  The  secre- 
tary asked  that  a  fund  be  raised  the  income  of  which  should 
be  devoted  to  Class  expenses  and  to  such  other  purposes  as 
might  be  deemed  proper  and  desirable.  The  members 
promptly  subscribed  over  $3,000,  which  has  since  been 
increased.  The  secretary  takes  this  opportunity  of  express- 
ing to  the  men  his  great  appreciation  of  their  prompt  adop- 
tion of  his  suggestion. 

Greenway  appointed  a  committee  consisting  of  Smith, 
chairman,  Walbridge,  J.  W.  Hall,  Bayard  Barnes  and  Par- 
sons to  solicit  further  subscriptions  and  act  as  custodians  of 
the  fund.  Further  information  about  this  fund  is  set  forth 
in  more  detailed  manner  in  this  book. 

After  the  meeting  the  Class  picture  was  taken  on  the  steps 
of  North  Sheffield  Hall. 

At  one  o'clock  a  start  was  made  for  the  field,  preceded  by 
the  band.  The  day  was  excessively  hot.  The  management

having  gotten  the  graduates  packed  away  early  in  the  broil- 
ing sun,  the  teams  were  very  slow  in  starting  and  it  was  not 
until  about  3.45  that  the  game  commenced.  The  graduates 
as  a  whole  felt  it  was  unreasonable  to  keep  them  waiting  so 
long  and  comments  upon  the  management  were  so  emphatic 
and  numerous  that  a  reform  in  the  starting  of  games  will 
probably  be  brought  about  hereafter.  After  the  game,  which 
Yale  easily  won,  the  Class  returned  to  the  city  in  marching 
order,  and  proceeded  with  the  band  to  ex-President  Dwight's 
residence,  then  to  the  homes  of  President  Hadley,  Professor 
Brewer,  Professor  Brush  and  Director  Chittenden,  each  of 
whom  responded  in  happy  vein. 

The  reunion  dinner  was  held  at  Heublein's  at  7.30  o'clock :

Beers  acting  as  bandmaster  caused  certain  members  of 
the  band  to  go  through  some  of  their  specialties. 

A  silver  loving  cup  was  presented  to  Bayard  Barnes  in 
appreciation  of  his  very  great  services  to  the  Class  in  pre- 
siding over  the  reunions. 


190  CLASS  REUNIONS 

Speech  making  was  not  attempted  on  any  serious  scale 
and  the  proceedings  were  orderly  in  the  extreme;  the  only 
inharmonious  incident  which  occurred  caused  the  scribe  to 
reflect  that  at  our  previous  reunions  a  man  would  have  been 
stood  on  his  head  for  attempting  to  speak,  whereas  at  this 
one  a  man  was  stood  on  his  head  for  attempting  to  interrupt 
the  speaker — truly  we  are  growing  old ! 

The  hall  was  so  hot  that  the  Class  was  glad  to  finally 
escape  from  the  dining  hall  and  make  the  customary  campus 
parade. 

Wednesday  morning  found  most  of  the  men  leaving  town. 
A  few  attended  the  Alumni  dinner  in  the  University  dining 
hall  in  the  afternoon,  and  some  remained  over  to  play  golf 
at  the  New  Haven  Country  Club,  but  with  Wednesday  morn- 
ing the  costumes  disappeared  and  the  reunion  had  come  to 
an  end.  We  shall  look  forward  to  our  Vicennial  with  much 
anticipation,  knowing  well  that  under  the  management  of 
Barnes  and  Beers  all  the  preliminaries  will  be  carefully 
looked  after  and  that,  although  we  are  growing  old,  for  a 
few  days  we  can  be  boys  again.

MINUTES  OF  MEETING  OF  THE   CLASS  OF  1895 
SHEFFIELD  SCIENTIFIC  SCHOOL 

AT  NORTH  SHEFFIELD  HALL  ON  TUESDAY,  JUNE  21,   1910,  AT 

11  A.M. 

The  meeting  was  called  to  order  by  the  president,  John  C. 
Greenway. 

The  temporary  secretary  and  treasurer,  W.  U.  Parsons, 
reported  that  there  were  no  reports  to  make  and  that  there 
were  no  funds  on  hand  and  no  debts. 

The  chairman  stated  that  nominations  were  in  order  for 
the  position  of  permanent  secretary  and  treasurer,  and 
W.  U.  Parsons,  having  been  nominated  and  no  other  nomina- 
tions having  been  made,  was  unanimously  elected. 

The  secretary  read  the  names  of  all  deceased  members  and 
ex-members  of  the  Class. 

Upon  motion,  duly  seconded,  it  was  unanimously  voted  that 
the  thanks  of  the  Class  be  extended  to  Mr.  H.  Hollister 
Robinson  for  his  faithful  and  conscientious  work  as  secretary 
and  treasurer,  and  for  the  excellence  of  his  decennial  report. 

On  motion,  duly  seconded,  it  was  unanimously  voted  that 
the  thanks  of  the  Class  be  extended  to  Mr.  Bayard  Barnes 
for  his  untiring  work  on  behalf  of  the  Class  as  chairman  of 
the  quindecennial  reunion  committee. 


192  CLASS  REUNIONS 

The  chairman  then  read  a  telegram  from  Professor  Cam- 
eron, to  which  the  Class  responded  with  a  long  cheer. 

On  motion,  duly  seconded,  it  was  unanimously  voted  that 
the  thanks  of  the  Class  be  extended  to  Mr.  C.  L.  F.  Robin- 
son for  his  interest  in  the  Class  as  evidenced  by  his  kind  gift 
of  the  services  of  a  band  during  the  parade  on  the  afternoon 
of  June  21  and  during  dinner  the  same  evening.  Thanks 
were  also  extended  to  Walbridge,  J.  W.  Hall  and  C.  S. 
Stephenson  for  their  services  to  the  Class  in  connection  with 
the  New  York  dinners. 

The  chairman  then  announced  the  appointment  of  Messrs. 
Bayard  Barnes  and  W.  C.  Beers  as  a  committee  to  arrange 
for  the  reunion  in  1915,  Mr.  Barnes  being  chairman  and 
having  the  power  to  appoint  such  other  associates  as  he 
might  deem  proper. 

The  treasurer  having  requested  the  Class  to  supply  him 
with  money  with  which  to  start  a  Class  fund,  and  a  canvass 
having  been  made,  the  treasurer  received  promises  aggre- 
gating $3,300. 

On  motion  of  Mr.  Norman  Leeds,  the  foUowing  resolution 
was  unanimously  adopted: 

Resolved,  That  the  president  appoint  a  committee  of  five, 
one  of  whom  shall  be  the  secretary  of  the  Class,  to  collect  a 
Class  fund,  the  interest  of  which  shall  be  turned  over  to  the 
secretary  and  shall  be  used  to  cover  such  expenses  as  are 
incurred  by  him  in  his  duties  as  secretary  of  the  Class,  also 
for  such  other  purposes  as  the  Class  may  from  time  to  time 
agree ; 

Resolved,  That  this  committee  of  five  be  made  custodian 
of  this  fund,  with  full  power  to  invest  such  moneys  as  may 
be  collected; 

Resolved,  That  all  money  collected  for  this  fund,  when  no 
longer  of  use  to  the  Class,  shall  become  the  unrestricted  prop- 
erty of  the  Sheffield  Scientific  School  of  Yale  University.

William  Usher  Parsons,  Esq., 
New  York,  N.  Y. 

My  dear  Mr.  Parsons: 

In  matters  of  feeling,  months  do  not  exist.  And  so,  in  spite  of 
silence,  which  forgive,  believe  my  many  appreciations  of  your 
past  kind  letter  have  not  grown  less.  I  follow  as  I  best  can,  but 
always  with  affectionate  interest,  the  men  and  the  doings  of  '95  S. 
Nothing  would  give  me  greater  pleasure  than  to  meet  some  of 
them  again,  but,  alas,  many  circumstances  would  interfere.  So 
that  I  am  going  to  hope  that  the  ninety-fives  will  look  me  up 
when  they  come  to  Princeton,  and  break  bread  with  me,  French 
or  American  bread,  as  preferred. 

In  the  hope  of  sometime  seeing  you  here,  and  with  very  appre- 
ciative regards,  believe  me 

Faithfully  yours, 

A.  GUYOT  CAMERON. 


THE   CLASS   FUND 

COPY  IN  PART  OF  CIRCULAR  LETTER  SENT  OUT  BY  '95  S.  CLASS 
FUND  COMMITTEE 

FEBRUARY  20,  1911. 
To  the  Members  of  the  Class  of  1895,  S.  S.  S. 

Dear  Classmate: 

At  the  quindecennial  meeting  of  our  Class,  held  in  North  Shef- 
field Hall,  in  June,  it  was  suggested  that  the  time  had  now  come 
when  the  Class,  following  the  lead  of  older  classes,  should  raise 
a  fund,  interest  upon  which  would  be  available  for  paying  secre- 
tarial and  other  general  Class  expenses. 

Carrying  out  this  suggestion,  the  Class  at  the  Class  Meeting 
enthusiastically  welcomed  the  idea,  and  one  of  the  New  York 
members,  who  is  noted  for  his  modesty  as  much  as  for  his  gener- 
osity, headed  the  subscription  with  a  gift  of  $500.  Within  a  few 
moments,  $3,300  was  subscribed  to  the  principal  of  the  fund,  sub- 
sequently increased  by  further  subscriptions  to  $3,675.  This 
sum  has  been  already  invested  in  bonds  legal  for  New  York  State 
savings  banks  and  trustees. 

The  President  of  the  Class  was  authorized  by  resolution  passed 
at  the  Class  Meeting  to  appoint  a  Committee,  and  he  announced 
at  the  Class  Dinner  the  appointment  of  the  following : 

Bayard  Barnes,  Wm.  Usher  Parsons, 

J.  Willett  Hall,  C.  C.  Walbridge, 

Lloyd  W.  Smith,  Chairman. 

This  Committee  was  appointed  with  power  to  collect,  invest  and 
in  general  formulate  plans  for  the  expenditure  of  the  interest 
derived  from  the  Class  Fund.  In  addition  to  paying  the  general 
expenses  of  the  Secretary  and  the  publication  of  Class  Reports,  it 
has  been  suggested  that  the  income  of  this  Fund  may,  among 
other  things,  eventually  be  used  to  assist  the  sons  of  classmates 
who  are  desirous  of  entering  Yale  but  who  are  without  sufficient 
funds.  It  has  been  further  suggested  that  the  principal  of  the 
Fund  shall  eventually  go  either  to  the  Scientific  School  or  the 
University,  or  for  the  foundation  of  a  scholarship  or  some  other 
worthy  purpose.  The  above  Committee,  although  appointed  with 
rather  broad  powers,  have,  at  their  several  meetings  already  held, 


THE  CLASS  FUND  195 

come  to  the  conclusion  that  it  will  be  desirable  to  lay  down  no  very 
definite  or  binding  rules  with  regard  to  the  Fund  until  the  Class 
Meeting  at  our  20th  Reunion  (1915),  at  which  time  the  matter 
will  come  up  for  full  discussion. 

The  above  facts  are  given  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  were  not 
present  at  the  Class  Meeting.  Various  other  members  of  the 
Class,  who  have  been  seen  by  members  of  the  Committee,  have 
either  contributed  or  promised  to  do  so.  The  Committee  is 
especially  desirous  of  not  causing  the  impression  among  our  class- 
mates that  we  are  entering  upon  a  campaign  to  dun  the  members 
of  the  Class  for  subscriptions.  Each  member  must  decide  for 
himself  without  pressure  from  anyone,  whether  the  obj  ect  is  suffi- 
ciently worthy  and  whether  his  interest  in  the  Class  and  Yale  is 
sufficiently  strong  to  warrant  such  contribution  as  may  seem  to 
him  desirable.  Subscriptions,  however  small,  from  any  member 
of  the  Class,  will  be  welcome,  and  we  venture  to  hope  and  expect 
that  as  the  Class  progresses  in  age  and  in  possession  of  worldly 
goods,  it  will  feel  that  the  contribution  to  this  Fund  is  among  the 
most  worthy  obj  ects  which  it  can  help  support. 

The  first  tangible  result  of  the  creation  of  the  Fund  will  be  that 
sometime  in  the  late  spring  or  summer,  all  of  our  classmates  will 
receive  free  the  Secretary's  quindecennial  report  of  the  Class. 

To  the  many  men  who  have  so  generously  responded  to  the 
request  for  a  contribution,  the  Committee  takes  this  opportunity 
of  expressing  its  most  cordial  thanks ;  it  hopes  that  the  number  of 
contributors,  year  by  year,  will  be  increased,  and  again  and  finally, 
it  wishes  to  impress  upon  the  members  of  the  Class  who  have  not 
subscribed  that  any  contribution,  however  small,  will  be  most 
gratefully  received. 

Contributions  should  be  sent  to  the  Chairman  of  the  Fund, 
LLOYD  W.  SMITH,  56  William  Street,  New  York  City. 

Yours  very  sincerely, 

BAYARD  BARNES,

ALUMNI   FUND   REPORT 

BY  R.  ARMSTRONG,  CLASS  AGENT 

The  CLASS  will  probably  be  interested  to  know  something  about 
the  Alumni  Fund  and  our  class'  share  in  the  contributions  thereto. 
The  amounts  given  in  each  year  are  as  follows :

The  classes  of  '65,  '82,  and  '9*  are  the  only  Sheff  classes  that 
have  contributed  more  than  our  class,  and  of  these  three  '94  S.  is 
not  so  far  ahead  but  that  we  can  overhaul  it  and  take  the  position 
we  have  always  been  accustomed  to  occupy. 

The  use  to  which  the  fund  has  been  applied  is  the  increase  of 
the  general  income  of  the  University.  The  last  year,  for  instance, 
it  went  largely  to  salary  increases  in  the  various  departments. 
While  the  largest  of  such  increases  were  made  in  the  college, 
Sheff  received  the  next  largest,  but  as  the  average  contributions 
from  Sheff  graduates  is  $10.36  and  from  the  college  graduates 
$39.31,  Sheff  received  more  than  her  share. 


198  THE  YALE  ALUMNI  FUND 

The  relative  number  of  givers  from  Sheff  is  yet  much  below 
that  from  the  college  which  decidedly  reduces  the  total  amount 
received  from  that  source.  The  number  of  contributors  from  the 
college  is  twenty-seven  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  grads, 
while  in  Sheff  the  percentage  is  eighteen. 

Figures  like  the  above  are  not  available  far  enough  back  to 
make  it  possible  to  determine  whether  Sheff  is  doing  better  as  time 
goes  on,  but  a  glance  at  our  own  figures  seems  to  indicate  only  a 
slight  increase  in  the  total  amounts  given  while  the  number  of  con- 
tributors was  less  this  year  with  a  few  exceptions  than  any  year 
since  graduation.  This  is  very  regrettable  as  there  is  no  more 
substantial  and  satisfactory  manner  for  us  to  show  our  loyalty 
to  Yale  and  our  confidence  in  her  methods  than  to  help  her  in  a 
way  she  so  much  needs. 

The  greater  the  number  of  men  who  join  in  giving,  the  stronger 
both  in  spirit  and  resource  do  we  make  the  university ;  the  giving 
should  not  be  left  to  a  few,  if  we  are  to  get  the  best  results,  and 
too  much  emphasis  can  not  be  laid  on  the  point  that  a  small  gift, 
no  matter  how  small,  carries  with  it  something  beyond  the  mere 
cash.  The  spirit  shown  by  a  gift  can  not  help  but  be  a  great 
influence  for  good  and  when  it  is  considered  that  Yale  has  some- 
thing like  fifteen  thousand  graduates,  the  tremendous  possibilities 
that  are  open  to  such  a  body  if  only  seventy-five  per  cent  of  them 
contribute,  are  only  too  evident.

SCHOOL 


SHEFFIELD  VANDERBILT  II. 
Dormitory,  Erected  1906 


DEVELOPMENT   OF   SHEFFIELD   SCIEN- 
TIFIC SCHOOL 

A  LETTER  FROM  DIRECTOR  CHITTENDEN 

NEW  HAVEN,  CONN.,  July  1,  1910. 
Mr.  William  U.  Parsons, 
New  York  City. 

Mr.  dear  Mr.  Parsons : 

I  have  your  letter  of  June  29  and  am  pleased  to  read  your  state- 
ments regarding  the  interest  shown  by  the  Class  of  '95  in  the 
progress  and  development  going  on  here. 

It  is  unfortunately  true  that  a  large  number,  perhaps  the  larger 
proportion.,  of  Sheffield  graduates  do  not  realize  the  progress 
which  has  been  made  here  during  the  last  dozen  years.  During 
this  period  the  number  of  students  in  the  Sheffield  Scientific  School 
has  more  than  doubled.  Our  entering  classes  now  number  over 
four  hundred;  the  number  of  professors  and  instructors  has 
doubled  during  the  last  ten  years  and  a  good  many  new  depart- 
ments of  study  have  been  inaugurated. 

Buildings  are  by  no  means  an  indication  of  the  condition  of  an 
institution,  yet  they  do  in  a  measure  mark  progress  and  develop- 
ment and  I  would  call  your  attention  to  the  fact  that  during  the 
last  ten  years  the  Scientific  School  has  erected  the  Byers  Me- 
morial Hall,  a  student  club  house,  two  Vanderbilt-Scientific 
dormitories  and,  through  the  generosity  of  Mr.  Frederick 
Vanderbilt,  the  school  has  acquired  land  on  which  other  dormi- 
tories will  in  time  go. 

In  addition,  the  Hammond  Metallurgical  Laboratory  marks 
the  progress  which  is  being  made  in  mining  and  metallurgy. 

Kirtland  Hall,  on  Hillhouse  Avenue,  is  the  home  for  mineral- 
ogy and  geology. 

The  Leet  Oliver  Memorial  Hall,  on  Hillhouse  Avenue,  is  a 
beautiful  new  building  in  which  English,  history,  and  economics 
for  the  Select  Course  are  taught,  and  now  we  are  to  erect  a  labo- 
ratory of  mechanical  engineering,  a  gift  of  the  Mason  Brothers, 
Class  of  '88,  for  which  we  have  the  sum  of  $250,000,  a  portion 
of  which  is  to  be  used  for  equipment  and  endowment  of  the  labo- 
ratory. 


202  SHEFFIELD  SCIENTIFIC  SCHOOL 

These  facts  help  give  substantial  weight  to  the  statement  that 
the  Scientific  School  is  undergoing  rapid  enlargement. 

This  past  week  we  have  had  under  examination  for  admission 
to  the  Sheffield  Scientific  School,  including  preliminary  and  final 
candidates,  1,050  men  of  whom  some  425  are  candidates  for  the 
Freshman  Class. 

Unfortunately  there  is  no  one  document  available  from  which 
you  can  get  an  adequate  idea  of  the  changes  which  have  taken 
place  here.  I  am  sending  you,  under  separate  cover,  the  last 
annual  report  in  which  you  will  find  statements  concerning  the 
Scientific  School  for  the  past  year. 

I  want  to  add  one  fact,  worthy  of  emphasis,  namely  that  now 
courses  in  mining,  mechanical  engineering,  and  civil  engineering, 
are  upon  a  substantial  five  year  basis  for  the  higher  engineering 
degrees,  and  a  fairly  large  number  of  men  are  taking  the  courses. 

As  you  will  see  from  the  present  report,  I  am  now  trying  to 
develop,  in  a  similar  way,  the  electrical  engineering  work,  but  for 
this  we  need  a  chair  of  electrical  engineering  to  be  filled  by  an 
engineer  rather  than  a  physicist,  also  a  laboratory  of  electrical 
engineering. 

I  hope,  as  secretary  of  the  Class  of  '95,  you  will  make  for 
your  report  a  substantial  statement  which  will  show  to  your  Class 
the  progress  going  on  at  Sheff.  With  kind  regards,  believe  me, 

Sincerely  yours, 

RUSSELL  H.  CHITTENDEN, 
Director  of  the  Sheffield  Scientific  School.

GROWTH   OF   SHEFF 

The  change  in  the  material  equipment  of  Sheff  from  what 
it  was  in  our  day  is  apparent  to  anyone  who  has  glanced  at 
our  Decennial  classbook.  Those  who  came  back  in  1910  saw 
still  greater  changes.  Vanderbilt  Square  with  its  two  splen- 
did dormitories  and  Byers  Hall,  the  Kirtland  and  Hammond 
laboratories,  and  Leet  Oliver,  all  of  which  were  in  use  a  year 
ago,  are  being  supplemented  by  a  number  of  important 
buildings  which  will  be  ready  in  the  fall.  October,  1911,  will 
see  the  $250,000  Mason  Mechanical  Engineering  Laboratory 
in  full  operation.  This  is  a  three-story  and  basement  build- 
ing running  through  from  Hillhouse  Avenue  to  Temple 
Street  just  north  of  the  Catholic  Church.  It  will  contain  a 
large  testing  floor,  boilers,  engines,  pumps,  tanks,  machine 
tools,  instruments  and  every  thing  needed  to  make  it  one  of 
the  best  equipped  mechanical  testing  plants  in  the  country. 
The  school  has  taken  possession  of  the  Stoddard  house  on 
Temple  Street  and  it  will  be  opened  in  the  fall  to  students, 
with  accommodations  for  about  twenty-five  men.  A  mag- 
nificent physics  laboratory  costing  about  $500,000  is  near- 
ing  completion  on  the  Prospect  Street  side  of  the  Hillhouse 
tract.  It  is  to  be  used  jointly  by  the  Sheffield,  Academic 
and  Graduate  physics  departments.  It  is  understood  that 
another  laboratory  on  a  similar  scale  for  the  Biological  and 
Zoological  departments  is  soon  to  be  built  next  to  it  on  the 
corner  of  Sachem  and  Prospect  Streets. 

A  number  of  courses  are  offered  now  which  have  been  added 
since  1895:  Zoology  and  Botany,  Forestry,  Mathematics, 
pure  and  applied,  Mining  Engineering,  and  Metallurgy. 

The  work  in  forestry  is  designed  to  be  preparatory  to  the 
more  advanced  work  of  the  Yale  Forestry  School.  In  point 
of  numbers  the  mining  and  metallurgy  courses  are  the  most 


204  SHEFFIELD  SCIENTIFIC  SCHOOL 

important  as  they  have  together  from  thirty  to  forty  men  a 
year.  There  is  an  increasing  tendency  to  emphasize  the 
fourth  and  fifth  year,  or  post-graduate  work,  in  all  the  engi- 
neering courses. 

Some  of  the  recent  changes  in  the  faculty  are  of  interest 
apart  from  the  increase  due  to  the  rapid  growth  of  the 
school.  Professor  Richards  retires  after  twenty-five  years  of 
service  and  Professor  Breckenridge,  '81  S.,  one  of  the  best 
known  engineering  educators  in  the  country,  has  taken  his 
place  as  head  of  the  mechanical  engineering  department. 
Professor  Brewer,  who  was  in  the  first  class  of  the  Sheffield 
Scientific  School  and  whose  entire  life  was  spent  in  its  service, 
has  died  within  a  year.  He  was  one  of  the  men  who  made  it 
great  and  his  wide  knowledge,  keen  sense,  and  kindly  sym- 
pathy will  remain  an  influence  in  the  school  for  many  years. 

The  most  vital  change  in  the  undergraduate  life  is  the 
introduction  and  rapid  extension  of  the  dormitory  system. 
The  two  large  Vanderbilt  dormitories,  Byers  Hall,  and  the 
private  houses  on  the  "Square"  owned  or  controlled  by  the 
school  now  house  about  two  hundred  and  fifty  men.  It  is  the 
policy  of  the  school  to  extend  the  system  until,  with  the  dor- 
mitories and  "houses"  all  the  students  may  be  cared  for  in 
college  buildings.  The  steady  increase  in  numbers  is  almost 
as  noticeable.  The  total  enrollment  in  the  three  classes  in 
Sheff  in  the  last  ten  years  has  risen  from  505  to  1,017.  The 
numbers  in  the  Freshman  Class  have  increased  from  199  to 
415;  and  the  graduates,  from  142  in  1900  to  251  in  1910. 
This  growth  is  much  greater  than  that  of  the  Academical 
Department  for  the  same  period,  as  is  shown  by  the  diagram 
below. 

The  curves  show  that  Sheff  has  passed  Academic  in  size 
of  entering  classes  and  indicate  that  the  two  departments 
will  be  about  equal  in  total  registration  and  in  yearly  gradu- 
ates in  from  two  to  three  years.

SHEFFIELD  SCIENTIFIC  SCHOOL  207 

This  rapid  relative  growth  is  of  course  finding  its  reflex 
in  the  social  life  of  the  university.  Both  the  undergraduate 
departments  have  Senior  Councils  which  are  giving  effective 
expression  to  public  opinion.  The  Sheffield  Senior  Council 
brought  forward  the  suggestion  that  two  of  the  manager- 
ships of  the  major  athletics  be  given  to  Sheff.  After  vigor- 
ous discussion  the  matter  was  put  to  vote  at  a  university 
mass  meeting  attended  by  about  2,000  men.  The  specific 
amendment  offered  was  defeated  by  936  for  to  789  against, 
a  two-thirds  vote  being  necessary  for  amendment.  This 
result  was  perhaps  the  best  on  the  whole.  It  was  shown  that 
a  fair  majority  of  the  university  are  in  favor  of  more  equal 
representations  in  university  affairs,  and  though  this  specific 
proposition  was  defeated  the  general  principle  is  sure  to 
reappear  in  some  other  and  perhaps  more  desirable  form. 
Sheff  men  are  already  represented  on  the  Junior  and  Senior 
Prom  Committees.  The  News,  Record  and  Courant  boards, 
the  musical  clubs,  etc.,  are  open  to  Sheff  men  on  about  the 
same  basis  as  in  our  time.  The  recent  discussions,  while  hot, 
have  on  the  whole  been  very  good-tempered  and  are  incidents 
in  the  normal  and  healthy  growth  of  the  new  university  spirit.

Five  members  of  the  class  have  had  the  misfortune  to  lose  their 
wives  by  death. 

It  is  curious  to  note  how  closely  our  figures  run  parallel  to 
those  of  '94  S.  The  '94  S.  quindecennial  report  showed  70  per 
cent  of  Class  married  with  a  birth  record  of  165  against  our  170, 
97  boys  to  our  86,  and  68  girls  to  our  84. 


Of  those  who  died  four  were  married.
